The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #539: Welcome Brian Funk, Host of The Music Production Podcast

In today's episode, I'm actually joined by my co-host and guest, Brian Funk of The Music Production Podcast. 

We decided to dual release this conversation, essentially serving as guests on each other's show.  We had a really great conversation about not just the ins and outs of aspects of making music but the underlying creative processes that go into formulating ideas, making them real in the world, and some of the traps and hangups that we creative types sometimes find ourselves in. The way one artist works will be different from how another does since we are all individuals, and as we allude to a number of times on the show, the timing of when you work and what is going on in your life may also influence things.  These are all things each musician has to figure out, so I'd highly recommend checking out Brian's show since each guest has their own take.  The more you hear from, the more likely you, too, will figure it out and/or add to what you already know.  Plus, since we are often isolated doing our own things, it's nice to find and be a part of a music making community. 

We also touch on Brian's own music, which you can find via the links below.  I enjoyed listening to his last album and was glad to be able to ask him more about how he made it.  That's all in the show!

Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!  

It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!

-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:
